Subj: Re: [kl] Finger injury
Date: Mon, 05 Jan 2009 15:53:11 -0500

On Sunday news in Seattle Wa. There was a report of a man that had his leg
amputated in an accident and was still having sever pains a year later. A
surgeon cut off the tip of the nerve and then buried the remaining nerve end
into the mussel of the leg. Pain disappeared. This was a "When nothing else
works procedure". Personally I hope someone comes up with an answer about
cream for you.
